Hi Roshan,
what blocks me from contributing to open source projects is a really good question!
My first blocks consisted of fears (i.e. to be negatively judged by others).
"fears and solutions" (there may be better names for the topic for sure) will be a good topic to add at the bottom.
I imagine some points like
"Will my contribution get judged by others?" => It will get feedback but hopefully attached to positive suggestions to improve. But judgement won't (should'nt) happen.
"What if my contribution makes things worse?" => Awesome! Perfect situation to gain experience and get to know how others start digging for a bug and solving them. Also good to see how they are organized.
...
Such points would help first-time-contributors to overcome such fears and just start right away based on your simple but effective list :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
